A true story is told of an old New

consulted by a man suffering from
rheumatism. The physician gave
him copious advice, and ended with
directions so concisely put as to be
easily memorized.

Some Old Sunday Customs.

DIR. Eggleston contributes a paper
on "Church and Meeting-houses be-
fore the Revolution" to the Century.
From it we quote as follows: SIN
Connecticut, perhaps more than any
where else, Sunday was a sort of pop
ular idol, nor did the rigor of its OBJ
seryance abate perceptibly until long
after the Revolution. This extreme
scrupul0sity about Sabbath keeping
was doubtless the moving cause of
the building of the "Sabbath-day
houses % these were little shanties
standing on the meeting house green,
each intended to accommodate fam
lily during the interval between the
two services. Some Sabbath-day
houses were built with stall at one
end to shelter the horse, while the
family took refuge at the other,
where there was a chimney and
meagre furniture of rude seats and a
table. Here on arrival before the
first service the owners lighted fire
and deposited their luncheon, and to
this camp-like place they came back
to eat their dOugh-nuts and thaW
themselves out after their first long
sitting in the arctic climate of the
Westinghouse. Sometimes two fam
lilies had Sabbath-day house togeth-
err; sometimes there. were two rooms
in a Sabbath-day house, that the
sexes might sit apart, for nothing so
agreeable as converse between boys
and girls was permitted during the
cOnsecrated time. But some parish
es in Massachusetts,, and perhaps
elsewhere, had common moon
hause" for all corners to rest in.
Fireside assemblages on Sunday,
whether in the parsonage or the
noon-house, were in danger of prov.
ing delightful to those who were
prone to enjoy the society of other
human beings, and hence the pastors
"were put upon their best contriv-
ances" to have most of the interval
between the services filled up with
the reading aloud of edifying books
and other exercises calculated to
keep the mind in becomingly irk-
some frame.

and where persons have had hard
colds it has given relief. 1t is used
for kidney tronbles and in fact for all
the many ills that flesh is heir to.
And instances were found. too,
where persons In perfectly good bod
lily health were taking salt, believing
that 1t aids digestion and keeps the
blood toned up to the proper point.
A number of articles have been going
the rounds of the press of late on the
benefits to be derived from the judi
cious use of salt, in somewhat larger
quantities than people are in the
habit of taking it,.and many people
have been induced to try this simple
remedy.
One Of the most enthusiastic be.
levers in the virtues of pure salt is
w. HI. Clark, of this city, who within
months time has been relieved of
a kidney trouble and greatly benefit
ed in health by its use. In converse
ton with the reporter, he said DR..
Burgraeve, learned professor of the
University of Client. has just pub
lished remarkable work in which
he sets forth that if the world would
follow his instructions, centenarlans
would become almost as common as
newborn babes. He claims that
health is not matter of chance or
constitution. The laws that regulate
human life are calm and regular phe-
nomena, and all we have to do is to
take care that it shall develop itself
without obstruction. According to
his theory, salt is the great regulariz-
ing agent. He claims that salt is an
infallible cure for consumption and
cholera. Formerly, in Holland, the
greatest punishment which existed
for offending soldiers was to give
them unsalted bread. After a few
months of its use they almost inva-
riably died. In SaXony, at the end
of the last century, terrible cpl
demic reigned solely through the
want of salt. The Russian peasants
once saved themselves from plague
by putting salt in the milk they
drank. The professor estimates the
quantity that each adult in ordinary
health should consume every twenty
four hours to be two.thirds of an
ounce the amount necessary for in
valid and children to be in proper
ton to their vitality and age.
Mr.. Clark thinks that invariably
what is used should be taken at meal
time or Immediately thereafter, so
that it will 60 with the digested food
direct to the blood, as the professor
claims that if the blood be too rich
the salt will clarity it, and if too poor
it will strengthen it and furnish it
with its necessary elements. But ex-
IRENE care should be taken not to use
salt to Xcess.- Uticd( ". " Herald.

Salt as a Medicine.

Numerous inquiries have been
made at many of the drug stores
lately for "sea SALT" "Turk Island
SALT" "German salt" and. other
varieties of what would commonly
be termed rock salt. The reporter
was informed that the people who
came for the salt wanted it to take as
q medicine or tonic or something of
that nature. and that the kind used
was sea salt, which comes in large
Jumps weighing from twenty-five to
one hundred pounds. The exterior
of the lump is dark colored, but in.
side portions of it are as transparent
as crystal.
The reporter pursued his investi-
cations and found that many people
were taking salt regularly after their
meals, with a view to improving
their heath. Some have used it with
good effect In bronchial difficulties,

The Chinese Executioner.

San Francisco Argonaut.
Facing the potter's houses was a
wall, at whose back and leaning
against it were some large crooks, all
which had their mouths earthed over
except one. Here our guide intro
duced US to three poorly dressed Chi
nese. whom we noticed gambling at
fan-table near the gate on our arri
val. One, a big, BRITISH looking fell
low, with villainous cast in one of
his eyes, was the head executioner,
the other two, who were smaIlish
men, were his assistants. Through
our guide we told the executioner
that we wished to see the instruments
of his calling, and thereon he pro.
duced short, very heavy two hand
ed sword and long knife. The fol-
towing conversation was carried on
between US and this "boss" through
the medium of our guide:
"How do you use this Sword ?
Where is the block ?" 1--WE don't
use block. What we do is to make
the prisoners kneel down in two
rows facing one another, and bending
their heads down, Then l take the
sword, and chop, chop, one on each
side, and the heads fall off; so on,
till they're all done. as you'd switch
the tops off green weeds with your
walking-stick."
"But you don't always chop ahead
off with one blow ?" always"
"What is the knife.for ?" "For

The cuts vary in number from eight
to 100, according to the Nervousness
of the culprits crimes"
"What class of criminals are con,
demned to the lingiche ?" "Parri
cides, matricides, and women who
have killed and mutilated their hus.
bands form the majority"
"Do the executions interfere with
your appetite and sleep ?"
The three executioners grinned sar
donically at this question. so We
asked:
"How many persons have you ex.
ecuted in day ?" 81 have chopped
twenty heads off myself in two min,
utes. See that dark looking place on
the ground over there-that's caused
by the blood of the last batch we
had"
"What is done with the bodies ?''
"The friends take the bodies away,
but we keep the heads in the crooks
over by the wall there, and when we
have a large number which are nc
longer identifiable, we bury them
Would you like to see some of thu
heads ?"
We declined.
